selected list and the numbers thereof; the said judge, or judges, shall then
cause the Clerk of the Court for the County in which the drawing is
being made, or one of his deputies whom the said judge, or judges, shall
designate, neither the one nor the other who may be so required to act to
be present at the selection of the said list of names or the numbering of
the same, to appear before him or them, and then and there in the
presence of the said judge or judges, and such other persons as may choose
to attend, to draw from the box in which the balls are placed, in the
same order and way that ballots would be drawn, without in any way
looking into said box, one by one forty-eight of said marbles or balls; and
as each marble or ball is drawn from the box it shall be handed to the
judge or judges, who shall announce the number thereon and the name on
the said selected and certified list whose number corresponds therewith;
and the forty-eight names corresponding by numbers to the forty-eight
numbers on the marbles or balls so drawn and the said numbers, shall be
duly recorded in the presence of the said judge or judges, who shall forth-
with order a venire facias for the persons whose names have been so drawn.
The forty-eight marbles or balls drawn shall be sealed up safely, and pre-
served by the Clerk; the marbles or balls that were not drawn shall remain
in the box, or boxes, wherein they were deposited, which shall be locked
or sealed, to be used in filling vacancies that may occur in the jury, in the
same way they might be filled if the drawing had been made by ballots.
The intent and meaning of this Act is not to supersede or repeal the laws
now regulating the drawing of juries by ballot, but simply to provide
another way of drawing them, leaving the judges in said Judicial Circuit
free to use either the ballot system or the marble or ball system as may be
most convenient and satisfactory to the judge or judges drawing a jury.

required to attend and sit in the trial of a case at a night session of the
Circuit Court for any county in the Second Judicial Circuit of this State,

duty as jurors, the Court may, in its discretion, allow each of such jurors
and talesmen compensation for such night service; provided, such addi-
tional compensation shall not exceed two dollars to each juror for any
one night, and shall be paid in the same way that their per diem is now
paid to jurors.
